Seawolf's avatars

Willets Point Jul 27 2006 02:28 PM

I want to start a tribute thread to some of the more creative avatars Seawolf has used to commemorate particular Mets. F'rinstance, right now for Dennis Cook he has the Swedish Chef: Chuck Taylor got the obvious Converse All-Star hightop: A semi-obscure use of the Subway logo served for Willie Randolph: Anyone remember any others? I like the Carl Everett dinosaur but can't find the right image. There was also a guy represented by a harmonica and someone had to tell me the story behind it but I can't remember who he is.

Great thread....I only copped on today what he was at.....oh well.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 27 2006 02:29 PM

I don't get the Chuck Taylor/sneaker connection.

Willets Point Jul 27 2006 02:37 PM

="Yancy Street Gang"]I don't get the Chuck Taylor/sneaker connection. The logo on Converse All-Stars is autographed by someone named Chuck Taylor. People sometimes call them Chuck Taylor's or Chucks.

Yancy Street Gang Jul 27 2006 02:38 PM

Well, you learn something every day.

Phil Linz. Trying to recall some other offbeat ones...

Pretty sure the entertainer Kenny Rogers was Kenny Rogers the pitcher

Edgy DC Jul 27 2006 07:35 PM

Chuck Taylor, late owner of what has to be the longest athletic shoe endorsement in history, should be more well known than some guy. He's also the subject of a 2006 bio from Indiana University Press. Foreword by Dean Smith, yo.

seawolf17 Jul 27 2006 07:46 PM

Jeez, I don't even remember most of them. I'll say that's my biggest regret moving over here from ezboard, though... losing that. I put a lot more effort into it when I knew that it would be on record for posterity.

What's up with the cheerleader?

Elster88 Aug 03 2006 12:13 PM

Why does Dennis Cook = Swedish chef?

cooby Aug 03 2006 12:21 PM

="Willets Point"]What's up with the cheerleader? It does say "Boswell" on her shirt

Willets Point Aug 03 2006 12:26 PM

="cooby"] ="Willets Point"]What's up with the cheerleader? It does say "Boswell" on her shirt Yea, I just thought there was more to it. Like I should recognize who she is or its a reference to some tv show/movie. I probably am overthinking this one.

Oh.

seawolf17 Aug 03 2006 02:44 PM

Cooby and Soup are both right. Nothing too special about either of them. But I'll admit I'm tempted to be Ken Boswell forever.

Yancy Street Gang Aug 03 2006 02:47 PM

Maybe I need to get my eyes checked... This is a cheerleader with "BOSWELL" on her shirt? I see a young doctor in scrubs standing in front of a wall of X-Rays.

cooby Aug 03 2006 02:49 PM

It's either a cheerleader or a rabbit digging a hole with a little shovel

Yancy Street Gang Aug 03 2006 02:50 PM

I can't possibly be seeing the same photo that everyone else is.

Yancy Street Gang Aug 03 2006 02:52 PM

Okay, I just refreshed my browser cache, and now I see the cute cheerleader. I guess seawolf reused the same filename as the x-ray guy in scrubs. (I wonder which Met that was?)

Hit "refresh" on your browser. In the interest of saving hassle, I find the image I want, save it as "cpf.jpg", then replace the former file in my photobucket. Voila! Instant image change. This way, I don't have to go into my preferences here and change the image name every time; it's always cpf.jpg, it just that the contents of that file change. Todd Zeile was represented by "The Todd" from Scrubs (the aforementioned doctor). A stretch, I know, but I've been lazy. I'll get better.

Willets Point Sep 05 2006 05:25 PM

Is that Doug Flynn or am I missing a joke?

Edgy DC Sep 05 2006 05:27 PM

I'm thinking Pete Flynn. Doug's still a tanned handsome Kentucky man.

seawolf17 Sep 05 2006 07:31 PM

Yep.

soupcan Sep 05 2006 10:29 PM

Looks more like Brian Doyle-Murray.

Willets Point Sep 08 2006 12:22 PM

And now Bleeding Gums Murphy is playing the blues for Dr. Ron Taylor?

seawolf17 Sep 08 2006 02:28 PM

As luck would have it, Bleeding Gums was voiced by an actor named... [url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0853103/]Ron Taylor[/url].

Johnny Dickshot Sep 08 2006 02:36 PM

Now that's esoteric.

seawolf17 Sep 08 2006 02:42 PM

Hey, you can't spell "seawolf" without "esoteric."

Willets Point Sep 08 2006 03:56 PM

Klingon Chef - now there's an interesting role. Somehow I imagine it being like a Klingon cooking show.

cooby Sep 12 2006 08:33 PM

Alan Jackson, good one, seawolf!

And on the day that inspired this song: Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning) Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day Out in the yard with your wife and children Working on some stage in LA Did you stand there in shock at the site of That black smoke rising against that blue sky Did you shout out in anger In fear for your neighbor Or did you just sit down and cry Did you weep for the children Who lost their dear loved ones And pray for the ones who don't know Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble And sob for the ones left below Did you burst out in pride For the red white and blue The heroes who died just doing what they do Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer And look at yourself to what really matters I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a real political man I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you The difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us And the greatest is love Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day Teaching a class full of innocent children Driving down some cold interstate Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor In a crowded room did you feel alone Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her Did you dust off that bible at home Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened Close your eyes and not go to sleep Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages Speak with some stranger on the street Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow Go out and buy you a gun Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger Stand in line and give your own blood Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family Thank God you had somebody to love I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a real political man I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you The difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us And the greatest is love I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a real political man I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you The difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us And the greatest is love The greatest is love The greatest is love Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day

Alan Jackson is a sweetheart. I don't like country music, but he's one of the good ones, and that's a good song.
